Awakening the Virtues of the Enneagram
Thursday June 12th to Sunday, June 15th
Nurturing a time of Inner Growth for Prairie Jubilee Alum and Students
Prairie Jubilee is excited, to invite all Prairie Jubilee Alumni and friends of Prairie Jubilee to a 3-day, in-person retreat at Sandy Saulteaux Spiritual Center in Beausejour, Manitoba. It will be a contemplative gathering of kindred souls. Our retreat time will include wisdom sharing, movement, and music. All who attend will also take part in an indoor labyrinth walk.
“In times, when we feel we cannot control much of what happens externally, we must focus on who we are internally.
What character, what values, and virtues will define each of us in this time of global change?”
- Jemar Tisby
The ancient symbol of the enneagram is more than a typological tool. It is a symbol that guides and opens us to the virtues that live in each and every human being.
It reveals nine ways we can be in the world and how we can allow our inner work to inform our outer choices and actions.
Our work with each of these virtues is not about learning new skills, but actually recognizing our ability to awaken and be present to the fullest expression of our humanity.
Come and retreat with these nine aspects of Soul: Serenity, Humility, Truth, Equanimity, Detachment, Courage, Sober Joy, Innocence, and Love. They are always alive in us, and now the world needs us to embody them more fully.

Thursday June 12th to Sunday, June 15th

RETREAT LEADERSHIP:
Cheryl Kinney Matheson is a graduate of Prairie Jubilee (Cycle 2), a member of Spiritual Directors International, and an Ordained Minister within the United Church of Canada, now retired.
She has been a Prairie Jubilee Instructor since Cycle 6 and learns from each Cycle and from each participant. Cheryl has served congregations in Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario for 28 years and attests to the way that Prairie Jubilee has transformed her pastoral ministry, enabling her to speak about the inner life and offer the teachings of the enneagram and spiritual practices within her congregation and community.
Jennifer Desrosiers was introduced to the enneagram in 2013 by her Spiritual Director. In 2020, She graduated from Prairie Jubilee which inspired her to want to explore more about the enneagram as it intrigued in her a deeper understanding of herself and others. In the summer of 2023, she completed Enntrain: Inspirited and Embodied Enneagram Training Program and it reinforced in her that she wanted to become a teacher which led her to join the leadership with Prairie Jubilee in 2024.
Florence Misurka is excited to be an instructor in the Prairie Jubilee program. It weaves together her experiences as a teacher, deep listener, and using the Enneagram as a tool for deepening spiritual journeys alongside others. The enneagram has become foundational to her spiritual life, a tool for her own self-reflection, and a framework for understanding others. In depth training in the enneagram occurred in 2023, in completing Enntrain: Inspirited and Embodied Enneagram Training. Through this training she gained skills to become a Facilitator/Teacher of Enneagram workshops and groups with Inscapes Centre for Enneagram Studies.
Dale Bially has worked extensively with the enneagram in his since 1993. Under the guidance of his mentors Carol Ann Gotch and David Walsh (students of Bob Ochs), he completed the Enntrain: Inspirited and Embodied Enneagram training program in 2012 and began teaching workshops and study groups with Inscapes Centre for Enneagram Studies. In 2012 he began working with the leadership team of Prairie Jubilee, to help train spiritual directors and guide other seekers find the truth of whom they are and how to live differently in our world.
